The present invention relates to a new and distinct plant variety of the Cactaceae family discovered as a sport in a bench of Schlumbergera truncata 'Dark Maria'. The present invention is distinguished from 'Dark Maria' and other known related varieties by a growth habit which combines a "reddish" colored bloom, a strong resistance to bud abscission, a strong propensity for buds to mature and flower, and considerable resistance to fungal diseases. The new variety also possesses the commercially desirable characteristics of a fast growth rate, a strong propensity to branch with minimal pruning, erect stems, and a considerable resistance to nutrient deficiencies.
